U-Channel Bridge is effective bridge type, because its edge beam performs role of barrier and enables to reduce additional dead loads. Although it is effective to reduce additional dead loads, there is possibility of bridge collapse under impact load due to car crash. Also, edge beam must have ability to induce safe driving and prevent falling accidents. Therefore, it requires behavior analysis and property investigation through the vehicle impact crashing edge beam. This study presents method of structural analysis of U-channel bridge and investigates design specifications for the effect of the edge beam under the vehicle impact. Also, it carries out stability investigation of behavior of edge beam and slab, based on Korean Highway Bridge Design Specifications and AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification.

Violin bridge blank cut from maple wood with good quality has typical pattern of the radial direction in the side edge with minimal dispersion. This experimental study was designed and carried out to examine the effect of the physical and macroscopical characteristics on the compressive creep of violin bridge blank which had been imported from European manufacturer. This research arose from the idea that the maple solid wood with heterogeneous wood density and ray direction in the side edge would have uneven rheological property of violin bridge blank which is supposed to be pressed by the tension of strings. Experimentally, the compressive creep of bridge blank became smaller with the higher density of imported maple wood and showed clear density-dependence for the duration of load under the string tension of 5 kgf. Every bridge blank showed the behavior of primary creep stage(stress stabilization) having logarithmic regression creep curve with high correlation coefficient under the designed stress level. Even though the relationship between compressive creep and ray direction on the side edge of bridge was not so clear contrary to expectation, we could conclude that wood density and ray direction should be the quality decisive factors affecting the acoustical characteristics and performance of the bridge, the core member of violin-family bow instruments.

PSC-Edge 거더 라멘교는 Edge 거더에 긴장력을 도입하고 정모멘트를 감소시켜 저형고와 장경간화가 가능한 교량이다. 본 교량은 가설벤트가 상부슬래브의 하부에 지지되고 Edge 거더부에 2차 강연선이 긴장된 후 거더 외측 면에 $45^{\circ}$방향의 사인장 균열이 발생하였다. 프리스트레스 정착부의 응력분포 및 파열균열의 양상에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되었지만 기존 연구 결과는 본 구조물의 실제 형상과 경계조건이 상이하여 명백한 원인분석이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가설벤트의 경계조건을 추가로 고려된 3D Frame 해석을 수행하였으나 Edge 거더부에서 최대 압축응력이 발생하여 균열을 원인을 규명하기에는 한계가 있었다. 따라서 LUSAS 16.1을 사용한 3D Solid 해석을 수행하였으며 그 결과 Edge 거더의 하부와 상부슬래브의 경계부분에서 최대 주인장응력이 발생하였다. 최대 주인장응력과 방향여현을 사용하여 둔각부 Edge 거더 외측면의 소요 철근량을 분석한 결과 사용 철근량이 부족한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 추가 시공된 교량은 기존 교량보다 정착부의 철근량과 철근보강 범위를 확장시켰다. 그 결과 Edge 거더부의 균열은 더 이상 발생하지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이와 유사한 PSC-Edge 거더 형식의 교량을 설계 및 시공할 때 본문에서 제안한 해석 및 보강방법을 적용하면 시공 중 발생하는 Edge 거더 외측면의 균열을 충분히 제어할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

2-edge box girder bridges have been widely used in civil engineering practice. However, these bridges show weakness in aerodynamic stability. To overcome this weakness, additional attachments, such as fairing and flap, are usually used. These additional attachments can increase the cost and decrease the constructability. Some previous researchers suggested an aerodynamically stabilized 2-edge box girder section, giving a slope to the edge box instead of installing additional attachments. However, their studies are limited to only dynamic stability, even though static aerodynamic coefficients are as important as dynamic stability. In this study, focus was given to the evaluation of static aerodynamic response for a stabilized 2-edge box girder section. For this, the slopes of the edge box were varied from $0^{\circ}$ to $17^{\circ}$ and static coefficients were obtained through a series of wind tunnel tests. The results were then compared with those from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. From the results, it was found that the drag coefficients generally decreased with the increasing box slope angle, except for the specific box slope range. This range of box slope varied depending on the B/H ratio, and this should be avoided for the practical design of such a bridge, since it results in poor static aerodynamic response.

Trains emerging on a streamlined bridge-girder may have salient interference effects on the aerodynamic properties of the bridge. The present paper aims at investigating these interferences by wind tunnel measurements, covering surface pressure distributions, near wake profiles, and flow visualizations. Experimental results show that the above interferences can be categorized into two primary effects, i.e., an additional angle of attack (AoA) and an enhancement in flow separation. The additional AoA effect is demonstrated by the upward-moved stagnation point of the oncoming flow, the up-shifted global symmetrical axis of flow around the bridge-girder, and the clockwise-deflected orientation of flow approaching the bridge-girder. Due to this additional AoA effect, the two critical AoAs, where flow around the bridge-girder transits from trailing-edge vortex shedding (TEVS) to impinging leading-edge vortices (ILEV) and from ILEV to leading-edge vortex shedding (LEVS) of the bridge-girder are increased by 4° with respect to the same bridge-girder without trains. On the other hand, the underlying flow physics of the enhancement in flow separation is the large-scale vortices shedding from trains instead of TEVS, ILEV, and LEVS governed the upper half bridge-girder without trains in different ranges of AoA. Because of this enhancement, the mean lift and moment force coefficients, all the three fluctuating force coefficients (drag, lift, and moment), and the aerodynamic span-wise correlation of the bridge-girder are more significant than those without trains.

본 연구는 U-채널 세그멘탈 콘크리트 교량의 차량 충돌 안전성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. U-채널 세그멘탈 콘크리트 교량은 추가 고정하중을 감소시키고, 측보가 방호벽 역할을 동시에 수행하는 교량이라는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 측보의 파괴는 전체 교량의 붕괴로 이어질 수 있는 위험 요소를 가지고 있다. 따라서, U-채널 세그멘탈 콘크리트 교량 측보의 차량 충돌에 따른 거동분석 및 특성파악이 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 AASHTO LRFD 설계기준 (2007)의 정적 및 동적 차량 충돌해석 기준을 적용하여 U-채널 세그멘탈 콘크리트 교량의 충돌해석을 수행하였다. 정적차량충돌해석의 경우에는 AASHTO LRFD 설계기준 (2007)에서 제시하고 있는 등가정적하중 재하하여 해석을 수행하고, 동적차량충돌의 경우에는 AASHTO LRFD 설계기준 (2007)의 방호벽 충돌실험기준에 근거한 실제 차량을 모델링하여 충돌해석을 통한 안전성 검토를 수행하였다. 검토결과, AASHTO LRFD 설계기준 (2007)을 만족하는 정적 및 동적 충돌하중에 대해 U-채널 교량시스템은 안전성을 확보하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The mechanical behavior of the brittle material samples containing the internal and edge cracks are studied under direct shear tests. It is tried to investigate the effects of stress interactions and stress intensity factors at the tips of the pre-existing cracks on the failure mechanism of the bridge areas within these cracks. The direct shear tests are carried out on more than 30 various modeled samples each containing the internal cracks (S models) and edge cracks (E models). The visual inspection and a low power microscope are used to monitor the failure mechanisms of the tested samples. The cracks initiation, propagation and coalescences are being visualized in each test and the detected failure surfaces are used to study and measure the characteristics of each surface. These investigations show that as the ratio of the crack area to the total shear surface increases the shear failure mode changes to that of the tensile. When the bridge areas are fixed, the bridge areas in between the edge cracks have less strength than those of internal cracks. However, the results of this study show that for the case of internal cracks as the bridge area is increased, the strength of the material within the bridge area is decreased. It has been shown that the failure mechanism and fracture pattern of the samples depend on the bridge areas because as the bridge area decreases the interactions between the crack tip stress fields increases.

The edges with "bridge characteristic" play the role of connecting the communication between regions in power optical cable network. To solve the problem of mining edges with "bridge characteristic" in provincial power optical cable network, the complex power optical cable network model is constructed. Firstly, to measure the generated potential energy of all nodes in n-level neighborhood local structure for one edge, the n-level neighborhood local structure topological potential is designed. And the minimum connected chain attenuation is designed to measure the attenuation degree caused by substituted edges. On the basis of that, the minimum connected chain attenuation topological potential based measurement is designed. By using the designed measurement, a bridge-edges mining algorithm is proposed to mine edges with "bridge characteristic". The experiments are conducted on the physical topology of the power optical cable network in Jilin Province. Compared with that of other three typical methods, the network efficiency and connectivity of the proposed method are decreased by 3.58% and 28.79% on average respectively. And the proposed method can not only mine optical cable connection with typical "bridge characteristic" but also can mine optical cables without obvious characteristics of city or voltage, but it have "bridge characteristic" in the topology structure.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to validate the design criteria of the concrete modular road system, which is a new semi-bridge-type concept road, through a comparison of numerical analysis results and actual loading test results under static axial loads. METHODS : To design the semi-bridge-type modular road, both the bridge design code and the concrete structural design code were adopted. The standard truck load (KL-510) was applied as the major traffic vehicle for the design loading condition. The dimension of the modular slab was designed in consideration of self-weight, axial load, environmental load, and combined loads, with ultimate limit state coefficients. The ANSYS APDL (2010) program was used for case studies of center and edge loading, and the analysis results were compared with the actual mock-up test results. RESULTS : A full-scale mock-up test was successfully conducted. The maximum longitudinal steel strains were measured as about 35 and 83.5 micro-strain (within elastic range) at center and edge loading locations, respectively, under a 100 kN dual-wheel loading condition by accelerating pavement tester. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the results of the comparison between the numerical analysis and the full-scale test, the maximum converted stress range at the edge location is 32~51% of the required standard flexural strength under the two times over-weight loading condition. In the case of edge loading, the maximum converted stresses from the Westergaard equation, the ANSYS APDL analysis, and the mock-up test are 1.95, 1.7, and 2.3 times of that of the center loading case, respectively. The primary reason for this difference is related to the assumption of the boundary conditions of the vertical connection between the slab module and the crossbeam module. Even though more research is required to fully define the boundary conditions, the proposed design criteria for the concrete modular road finally seems to be reasonable.
